Barcelona v Rayo Vallecano: How to watch the La Liga clash online

Barcelona will host Rayo Vallecano at Spotify Camp Nou on Monday as they look to maintain their perfect start to the 2026-27 La Liga season.

The match is the third-round meeting in Spain’s top flight, with Barcelona having won both of their opening games. Hansi Flick’s side began the campaign with a 5-0 victory over Elche before beating Athletic Club 2-0.

Rayo Vallecano, by contrast, have made a difficult start to the campaign. They opened with a defeat by Sevilla and then drew with Alaves, leaving them still searching for their first win before the trip to Barcelona.
